So according to the Lionel Trains website, they are coming out with their own line of HO-scale roadbed track, referred to as the MagneLock track system. It will connect by magnets, instead of plastic alignment clips as found in Bachmann's E-Z Track or Life-Like's Power-Loc Track or Kato's UniTrack or whatever. No photos are available yet, but they are cataloged on the site as coming soon. I presume the rails will be nickel-silver. So far they are only offering it in 9" straight and 20"-radius curves (surprised they aren't in the usual 18" or 22"!) But I imagine more would soon be available, and that Lionel would probably make a transitional track section, as they do with the O-gauge Fastrack or Life-Like did with their Power-Loc track. After all, I am reminded of how when Bachmann introduced E-Z Track back in 1994 (initially called their "Right Track" system), they only had 9" straights and terminal rerailer, 18"-radius curves, and regular left and right-hand remote turnouts, compared to what they have today.

Interesting new concept. Will look forward to this new wrinkle.

And here's a product video about it! It even uses Code-83 nickel-silver rails!
